a_iz 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 Hi KM, Learnt a great deal about ovens from this thread (especially your posts). Need some recommendations for a built-in oven. My wife and my 4-yr-old son loves baking (lucky me... ). Based on the discussions in this thread, I've shortlisted Brandt, Bosch, Electrolux and Rinnai. Could you/anyone provide some insights for these brands (price range too if possible). Main criteria for the oven: - for baking cakes, cookies, cupcakes, pies - self-cleaning (seems like a impt/nice feature) - tangential ventilation (does all ovens have this?) - mine is a 20+ yr-old flat (not sure if power load will be an issue?) - digital display (nice to have feature) - timer auto-off (wife tends to "burn" her creations quite often) Appreciate any valuable recommendations!!

divineparadise 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2010 I went to the Brandt online catalogue and I think the FX842 model is really nice. Anyone knows where I can view this model? Is it at that Rinnai place? Those Goh Ah Bee, Ban Kim Chuan, no display models one right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it at that Rinnai place? Those Goh Ah Bee, Ban Kim Chuan, no display models one right? At Rinnai, U can view Bosch, Brandt, DD & Miele but their rates R stick to Retail Price. I got my Brandt Pyro FP867 (New model replacing FP667 coz got grill with rotisirrie at only S$1650. If U dun mind d old series of FP667 (grill w/o rotissirie), U can get it at $1500 while retail price for Pyrolitic oven is $1899 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a GD middle-range brand, Bosch & Brandt R GD bcoz of their easy functions & temperature heats ! If U can't get a GD oven, U might ended up doing a lot of manual work ie always need to take a look at yr cake, bun, chicken & do manual changing of position so that yr food can be cook in even colour ! Hence, do NOT base on outlook or bigger capacity but even heat is MORE IMPORTANT for an oven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devion23 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Btw, if the oven is rated as 16A & need to be used in a HDB socket outlet rated as 13A max, how do we go about installing this oven? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuteHoneyDew 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2010 Btw, if the oven is rated as 16A & need to be used in a HDB socket outlet rated as 13A max, how do we go about installing this oven? I'm facing d same problems too ! My oven has been boxed up & fixed in by d delivery man. Now was placed on top of my stainless steel table but the oven came w/o plug coz got to look for an electrician to fix a 16amp plug. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with yr oven, NO guaranteed ! I understand that if I use oven, make sure that NO 1 is using aircond in my hse in order to avoid fr elec trip ! However, if U hav a 13amp plug ready for yr new oven & U only look 4 a CATALYTIC function of built-in oven that do NOT require the changing of panels every 2-3yrs due to ECO cleaning, then just call Luigi of Harvey Norman at 9733 7654 for Bosch HBA23B550J retailed at $1299 (German Made; the ONLY 1 with 13amp oven); 2yrs warranty with Fan, Top & Bottom, Bottom, Grill with Fan, Grill (5 cooking Programmes). I bought via Luigi as he gave me a special rate & H/N is a BIG organisations that allows up to 5yrs (warranty + ext warranty). FYI, Bosch is rank before Brandt but majority that loves MORE & EASY functions & with Pyrolitic as well as Grill with Rotissirie will still go for Bradt coz d Pyro FP867 only $1650 nett (Retail $1899).

If U R lookg 4 a cheap oven, then Turbo is fine ! If U R lookg 4 a GD middle range oven, then those who love in baking will tell U that Bosch (German made) & Brandt (France Made) wd b d ideal oven. For demo, the chef has NO choice as they can only use d oven provided / sponsored ! Read MORE on this Forum's thread b4 U make yr decision as U can only make 1 choice !

devion23 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2010 Anybody has comments on the table top ovens? This looks pretty value for money...combo oven, price quoted at Harvey was $1159. http://www.sharp.com.sg/web/products/prodD...3&mode=Feat Not for the regular baker...but for those occasional users, think this oven would fit great.

U R absolutely RIGHT ! Though this table top Sharp Helsio AX1500 oven came with Microwave functions, but it's oven functions DOES NOT came with Mircowave like Panasonic Microwave/Convection Oven. Besides, it's WATER OVEN or what we called STEAM oven whr MORE healthy if U use this oven. However, do NOT choose the smaller unit AX1300 retailing at $999 as it doesn't come with FAN in yr oven fucntion. Call Luigi of H/N at 9733 7654 2 ask 4d SPECIAL price that he cld give give U ! I just got my Brandt FP867 Pyro built-in oven last week at only $1650 fr him though quoted at $1899 at H/N, Best & Mega.

Honestly, if U R really GD in baking, U can do a lot by using BASIC oven ! Oven with many functions was told giving d convenience for those who R not really gd in baking. So to Chefs, any oven can bake out wonders food ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So to Chefs, any oven can bake out wonders food ! yeah. true true! that's what i think too. i can just get a simple oven with all the basic functions and i can do wonders provided i know how to use the oven. the turbo one that i check is just nice. affordable price and simple. guess i'll be getting that. since it fits into what i'm looking for.
